Description

For sample adults who had participated in weight lifting in the past 2 weeks (EXLIFT), EXLIFTNO reports the number of times the respondent had participated in weight lifting over those 2 weeks.

After the interviewer determined that a respondent participated in weight lifting, respondents were asked, "How many times in the past 2 weeks did you go weight lifting?"

Related Variables 

Respondents were also asked how many minutes on average they had spent weight lifting each time during the past 2 weeks (EXLIFTMIN) and how much their heart rate or breathing had increased while weight lifting (EXLIFTBR).
